The Evil Within

A Menacing Voice For A Terrifying Antagonist

Bethesda has announced the principal actors for Shinji Mikami’s upcoming survival horror title, The Evil Within. The headliner has played anti-heroes and villains, including one of horror’s most recognizable monsters.

Jackie Earle Haley, who played Rorschach in Watchmen and Freddy Krueger in the 2010 remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, voices The Evil Within’s antagonist, Ruvik. Joining him is Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels) as protagonist Sebastian Castellanos and Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter) as Juli Kidman.

Carpenter, who played Debra Morgan in Dexter, appears in the base game, but will take the spotlight in post-launch DLC focused on Kidman. The Evil Within will be out on October 14 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC.

Anson Mount is awesome! I'm sure you've seen him on Hell on Wheels. But one of his best performances was in a little known movie called "Poolhall Junkies"!

Jennifer carpenter and Jackie earl Halley are both fantastic character actors as well. This is a wonderful piece of news! I'm so glad I read this article. I was 50/50 on this game till now. Well, I mean I was always planning on playing the game, but I didn't have high hopes for it.

However, now that the actors have been revealed, I have a bit more anticipation for this game.!

Good cast for sure, but I haven't been impressed by the gameplay I have seen. I know there's till over a month until release, so they have some time left to polish the mechanics... but I'll be waiting until it's closer to launch before I decide on buying it full price or waiting until it drops down. Still, glad that people are trying to make genuine horror games.
